Verb Operational Status
Tavric verbs do not conjugate for person, number, or tense. The verb root stays unchanged no matter who performs the action.
Instead, Tavric places operational-status particles before the verb. These particles mark whether an action is active, archived, expected, or maintained.
Verb Formula
[STATUS PARTICLE] + [VERB ROOT]
The verb root does not change.
Status Particles
Particle | Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
na | Present / Active | currently in effect |
esh | Past / Archived | historical or completed |
or | Future / Expected | expected or future |
dur | Continuous / Maintained | ongoing or maintained |
Verb Status Table
Example with Rek

Present / Active | na rek | is recording / currently records |
Past / Archived | esh rek | recorded / was recorded |
Future / Expected | or rek | will record / expected to record |
Continuous / Maintained | dur rek | is maintaining record / ongoing record |
Notes
Tavric cares less about natural time and more about official state:
Is the action currently in effect?
Has it been archived?
Is it expected?
Is it being maintained?
